I want to share a few scenes from BlogTourNYC trip. If you want the experiences from the point of view of the attending bloggers, visit the Modenus page to link to each of their sites and follow their posts.

A well-designed bathroom fixture, for example, should first and foremost clean our skin, then it should produce an emotional response, and finally, it should leave us with the conscious experience that water is a valuable resource. Our newest collaboration with Philippe Starck, Axor Starck Organic, embodies this pretense very well.”
